The rear hall was hosting a modern party with a buffet. The alcohol was placed on an iced table. To the side of the hall were a grassy area and an indoor pool, a pleasing combination that perfectly suited the young people. The retro decorations in the previous hall were more suitable for the older folks.
”Mo Fan, even though you're an arm-flinging shopkeeper who doesn't really involve yourself with Fanxue Mountain's management, you should always keep its well-being in mind, instead of just worrying about feeding yourself! Think about it; their biggest problem is excavating the fire vein, but they can't afford to send a Super Mage into it because it's going to provoke the formidable beast residing nearby. However, those below the Super Level are probably going to die if they dare enter the fire vein.
”You are interested in going because of the Primitive Soul-grade Seed, but your identity isn't the same anymore. It's going to be a great loss for you if a Primitive Soul-grade Fire Seed is all you get from helping them!” Zhao Manyan told him sternly.
”Hehe, I'm not really an expert when it comes to this. Luckily, the Young Master of the Zhao Family is around to give me some advice,” Mo Fan realized unabashedly.
Mo Fan was used to being unconstrained, so he believed it was reasonable to help the Mui Clan excavate the fire vein as long as he got what he wanted. After all, the fire vein belonged to the Mui Clan...
However, on second thought, he was indeed asking too little for the favor, knowing that a fire vein could help an entire renowned clan prosper!
”It's mainly because you haven't realized you are now the leader of Fanxue Mountain. Fanxue Mountain isn't the same as before. Many factions are actually thinking of holding out an olive branch to us. Unfortunately, they are still hesitating, because the Mu Clan is constantly watching them. They don't dare make it too obvious.
”On the other hand, the Dongfang Clan and the Mui Clan aren't on friendly terms with the Mu Clan! It is important for the renowned clans to choose sides and join hands under the current circumstances. Fanxue Mountain is going to become the North Mountain District of Feiniao Headquarters City. It's also the closest place to the maritime battlefield in the south. Every inch of its land is going to be as valuable as gold!
”I can swear on my manhood that those two elders are going to ask Mui Nuxin or Dongfang Lie to contact you in less than three days. It doesn't even matter if they are going to pay Fanxue Mountain a visit. The truth is, they desperately need to cooperate with us… when the time comes, you can easily discuss the split of profit, and don't bother agreeing if they aren't giving this much,” Zhao Manyan raised three of his fingers.
The fire vein was a huge gold mine. Mo Fan would not believe the Dongfan Clan and the Mui Clan would be willing to share thirty percent of its profit for no reason!
”Forget it, we'll do Mui Nujiao a favor. You can ask Mu Ningxue to ask for twenty-five percent of the profit instead. We'll take less, so they will owe us one. I believe thirty percent is within their acceptable range. They will agree to it without a doubt, but Fanxue Mountain is still lacking in many aspects. I believe we'll need their help again soon. It's better to go easy on them for now,” Zhao Manyan said.

Mo Fan relayed Zhao Manyan's message to Mu Zhuoyun. Mu Zhuoyun initially answered the call with a displeased voice when he realized it was from Mo Fan. It was difficult for a man to have a good impression of a man who was going to take his daughter away, not to mention the conflicts they had shared in the past.
However, when Mu Zhuoyun heard Mo Fan mention the Mui Clan and the Dongfang Clan were interested in cooperating with them, his attitude changed entirely. He even had the urge to pay them a visit to discuss the matter right away!
The Dongfang Clan and the Mui Clan were reputable clans with formidable backgrounds. Mu Zhuoyun had long wanted to cooperate with them, but they never bothered to listen to him in the past. To his surprise, Mo Fan was able to make it possible just by being a busybody!
If they managed to come to an agreement, they were all going to be in the same boat!
”Xuexue is coming back late tomorrow. I'll talk to her when she's back!” Mu Zhuoyun was clearly overjoyed if he even told Mo Fan when Mu Ningxue was going to be back.
Mo Fan was thinking of visiting Fanxue Mountain, too. He decided to head over when Mu Ningxue came back.
